“We came to live life like no one was watching.”—Macklemore

Taz and I are in Chicago. She goes back to college in a couple weeks so we’re having one last hurrah, a girlfriends getaway, just the two of us.

We’re staying at the mighty Peninsula. We can see the Magnificent Mile from our suite. If it’s not ringing any bells, let me just say that this is where all the A-listers stayed when they came to Chicago to bid Oprah adieu.

We’re shopping, going to see “The Book of Mormon” and, of course, making a return engagement to Second City. In the audience, not on the stage.

As I like to say, we’re building muscle, practicing “being” what we want to be—united with all that is, knowing with complete surety that we are provided for in every way.

We’re also performing a secret mission. We brought a stack of $5 bills and we’re leaving them at bus stops, taping them onto park benches, pinning them into clothes at the stores on Magnificent Mile. With each fiver, we’re leaving an anonymous note about the abundance of the universe and how this is just one small sign of how much whoever finds it is loved.

I know $5 isn’t much (One of these days, we plan to leave hundys), but for us it’s about “being” who we want to be–confident, freely giving and knowing that as we give, so shall we receive.

I’ll be back to the blog next week and hope to see you then.

“So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us, like the ceiling can’t hold us.”–Macklemore

In about an hour and a half, I’m heading to the grocery store to buy this week’s Sunday New York Times. In the NY Times Book Review, a section we authors revere as if it’s the word of God itself, I am going to see my name and the name of my new book.

Yes, Hay House informed me last Wednesday that E-Squared had cracked the golden egg, found “the holy grail,” made the list that every author longs to make.

To quote Phoebe Buffay, “Well, yeah!”

Lest you worry that I will start singing “Smelly Cat,” let me assure you that the only reason I can say, “I KNOW!” with sheer glee is because I made that very intention. And I know with complete surety that when you order something from the cosmic catalog of life, it’s going to show up as soon as you take down the barriers that keep it from your purview.

As soon as you release resistance and “get it” that the world always, without fail, has your back, the party can begin.

But before I start throwing out confetti, I want to give an Everest-size shout-out to all of you! Thank you so, so, so, so much for, to paraphrase Sally Field, “liking me, for really liking me.”

The feeling, let me assure you, is mutual. I love and appreciate you all so much!!
